''Gagool, mother of the witch doctors, has
smeled him out; he must die, white men, /"
was the sullen answer.
''Nay, he shall not die" l replied; "he
who tries to touch him shall die indeed"
''Seize him! roared Twala, to the execll-
TONERS, who stood around red to the eyes
with the blood of their victims.
They advanced toward us, and then hesi-
tated AS for Ignosi, he raised his spear,
and raised it as though determined to sell his
life dearly.
'.Stand back, We dogs" l shouted, 'if We

hair Of his head and your king dies" and |
covered Twala with my revolver. Sir Henry
and Good also drew their pistols, Sir Henry
pointing his at the leading executioner, who
was advancing to carry out the sentence,
and Good taking deliberate aim at Gagool.

"Put up your magic tubes" he said; ''ye

'It is ended" Twala answered, sulkily.
Let these dogs" pointing to the long rows
of corpses, ''be flung out to the hyenas and
the vultures;;" he lifted his spear.
Instantly the regiments began in perfect
silence to detile off through the kraal gate

to drag away the corpses of those who had
been sacrificed.

The Hanging of Mrs. Drusc.

Mrs. Roxaline Druse was hanged at
Herkimer, N. Y, on Monday, for the
murder of her husband, whom, with the
assistance of a male confederate, she
helped to murder by shooting Her
husband was without doubt most cruel
ruffian. There was no indignity and
outrage he did not infict on her, not
excepting serious bodily injuries, and
after enduring this treatment fol more
than twelve years she was driven to such
desperation that she felt impelled to kill
him. The most terrible feature of the
crime was that in concealing the deed
she chopped the body in pieces and
burned them. She was tried, convicted
and condemned to be hanged by New
York court. Some efforts were made
to secure communication ofthe sentence
to life Imprisonment, but he refused or
the ground that a woman was not en-
titled to any more consideration than i
she were a man, and if the crime were
that of a mar he would not commute it
It seems to us that the great injuries
endured so long by the miserable wife
should have had some influence in miti
eating her sentence, but this is not the
view taken of the matter in New York

store, the parties engaged in the affair being
William B. McCants, a merchant of Hosch-

bookkeeper, of Gainesville. Your cores
pendent, after some inquiries as to the cause
of the difficulty, was put in possession of
the following facts:
Mr. Blalock owns a farm in jackson

Some cotton belonging to Kilgore was levied
upon, and he filed an illegality to the execu-
ton. Being Justice Court day, Mr.. Blalock

Mr.. W. f. Findlay, went down on
the early train to Hoschton, arriving
there about 8, o'clock Judge Estes had

arrival at Hoschton, Blalock and Findlay
repaired TO the store of Hosch Bros, where
they lunched, during which time Mr.. w. b.

by Blalock and Findlay, halted few steps
beyond them, and was engaged in looking
at something when Mr.. Blalock advanced
to where he stood and said

was no better than a d rogue. Did you

Various little souvenirs of Rome and the
Cherokee section were fixed up for the Presi-

long enough to have received them. Mas
ter Jamie Neyin was determined to get his
work in, and was perhaps the only one who
succeeded. Through the kindness of Capt.

card was presented to Mrs President Cleve-
land, as the car passed along, with Indian
relics attached, and bearing the following
inscription:
''Indian relics, arrowheads and pottery,
picked up OFF the field between Myrtle Hill,
and Mont Alto, near where the junction of
the Etowah and OOstanaula rivers form the
Coosa, at Rome, Ca, tho home of John
Ross, chief of the Cherokee Indians and
supposed to be the scene of the battle be-
tween Gen. John Sewer and the Cherokees.

Jamie Z. Nevin, from his collection of In

Jamie Nevin has a large collection of In
dian relics-tomahawks, spearheads, arrow
head, clubheads pottery, slSindresseT's, etc,
gathered from the field mentioned above,
and the sons of Capt r. Z. Nixon, and
others living near the place, have gathered
over 5000 AFRO wheadS and relics off this
same field.
1t is historical that Gov. John Sewer
fought the Indians at the junction of the
rivers, and hence this has been located as
the spot by some OF the Rome boys. From

STOCK LAW LITIGATION.
A Case in Gwinnett, Which Illustrates
the Weak Points of the Law.
From the LaoorenceviIle CGa) Herald.

the Weak Points of the Law.
From the Ld1orenceUiIIe (Gd.) Herald.
The adoption of the stock-law by districts
is giving rise to some trouble among citizens
of adjoining districts, and one law suit has
already originated and others will likely
arise out of the confusion that the Legisla-
ture has left the law in.
The litigation now up, is between Mr.
Hewitt, of Gates, which is a fence district,
and Mr.. Moore, of RocKbridge, which is a
stock-law district Mr.. Hewitts stock went
over on Moore's premises and he took them
up and demanded pay. Hewitt refused to
pay because there was no fence around his
district. The courts will have to settle it be-
tween them.
The trouble arises in this way: The laws
of the State require, where district adopts
stock-law, that the county shall at once erect
substantial fence around that district.
This expense is to be paid out of the county
treasury, and then the district is assessed an
amount sufficient to cover this expense
which is collected by the tax collector the
next fall. This is the statute.
But the Supreme Court holds that there
is no authority under the constitution to
levy tex to build fences
This is not provided for, and hence the
levy of such a tax is Illegal The question
then arises, where is the money coming
from to build these fences! If it canuot be
levied as a tax, the county authorities would
not be justified in using other funds of the
county for such purpose.
Nothing has been done. and the question
now for the courts is, does the law go into
effect without a fence? The statute provides
that when an election is held the Ordinary
shall consolidate the vote, and if stock-law
carries, that he shall issue his proclamation
announcing that stock-law will 60 into effect
in that district six months from that date.
The law contemplates that in this time a
fence would be built, as is required, but as
no fences will be built because there are no
funds to build them with, the question arises,
will this prevent full operation of the
law!

A Photographic Diary.

Some time ago there was an cxhibi- ton of amateur work here in New York, and another one is talked about. Perhaps the most interesting novelties in amateur work of the last few years are the numbers of amateur albums de- voted to family history, constituting almost a pictorial diary of the family life. One noted amateur has rough manilla albums, each one de- voted to one of his children. The first page shows the baby day old, and not a month passes without 9 picture of that child or some of its surroundings the nursery, the house, its books and playthings. On some pages are family groups, in which the child figures. Re- meath each picture is written the date, and the album will constitute a curious record for the future.-N. r Post.
